PoETIcAL.
Two Loves.

The woman he loved, while he dreamed of her,
Danced on till the stars grew dim;
But alone with her heart, from the world apart,
Sat the woman who loved him.
The woman he loved only smiled
When he poured out his passionate love.
While the other somewhere kissed her treasure
most rare
A.book he had touched with his glove.
The woman he loved betrayed his trust,
And he wore the scars thro' lfei
And he cared not, nor knew, that the other was
true,
But no man callcth her wife.
The woman he loved trod festal halls
While they sang his funeral hymn;
But the sad bells tolled ere the year was old
Der tho woman who loved him.

There is a feeling like heavy

a faint, all-gone sensation at
the pit of the stomach which
food does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, the hands
and feet become cold and feel
clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is at
tended with a greenish colored
expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and
sleep does not seem to afford
any rest. After a time he be-

gloomy, and has evil forebod-

Talking Machines.

The announcement was recently made
on the alleged authority OF Mr. Edison,
that a machine, intended to take the
place of private secretaries and short
hand writer's generally, will be put on
the market this month. 1t is the per-
fected photograph of the wizard OF
MEMO Park. The new machine will be
smaller than the ordinary type writer
and will be sold at retail for about 500.
The Edison Company has a factory in
bloomfield, N. j., where the machines
are being made. The company claims
that the machine will reproduce the
voice so clearly and accurately that the
words cannot bG misunderstood. The
owner of the machine merely has to
talk into it as he would into telephone
and when he is through his type writer
can ungrind his remarks and material
ize them on yaper. The public may
have chance TO buy two kinds OF
monographs. The American Graphic
phone Company is also preparing to
get out machines to take the place Of
stenographers. This company was Or
ganized IN Washington six months ago,
and is working under the patents OF
Alexander g. Bell and Sumner Taintor
The Edison Company think the other
company's machine may be an infringe
ment of the Edison phonograph.

Something of a Farmer at III.

DALLAS, Tex, November IA cast
of remarkable longevity is that o.
Frank Hicks, colored, residing within
ten miles ofMcKinney, over whose re-
markable head 117summers have rolled
The evidence of his age is offered by q
bill of sale from slave trader to I. 81
WEIGH, dated 1850 and certifying that
Hicks was then 80 years old. As III the
sale of slave, like that of horse
the vendor, while he might have an
object in undertaking the age OF his
chattel, could have no possible motive
in adding to his years. The proof that
Hicks has spent III years in this vale
of tears is conclusive. Hicks, though
a little bent, is in perfect health, not
looking day over 20, and giving hopr
OF lasting another quarter of a century,
or to see l42.
When sold to Mr.. WEIGH he was
thrown in with his wife, but in the
thirty years that have since
elapsed he has never failed of doing a
mans work at hoeing AMI this year
with the aid of his wife, now in her 10th
year, he has harvested eight bales of
cotton, which he sold in Mckinney last
week. The cotton was grown on the
plantation o. Mr.. WEIGH, who. out of
regard to his former slaves old age and
dilligent service, allows him the free use
of all the land he can farm. By his
present wife Hicks has fifteen children,
thirteen of whom are living, and
by former wives he had many
children-he says the good Lord
only knows the cumbersome
of whom, if they are yet living, must
be centenarians. His early families
were born in South Carolina, to which
State he was brought in a SLAYER from
the coast of Guinea, when only 10 years
old. He remembers naught of his ma
tive land, but has distinct recollection
OF his voyage to the land of bondage.

neither merited nor received harsh
from any of his masters. Hs
